Hi... When I click a hyperlink in an Outlook message (OL 2000), it used to
open Internet Explorer and take me where it should. For some reason, this
has stopped working. When I click the link, nothing happens. Other than
that, both OL and IE seem to work fine.

In IE, click Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Reset Web Settings.

I had the same problem, but when I tried what Brian wrote, it still does not
work. Any other ideas?

Two most prevalent reasons for problem - 1. Link not sent as a hyperlink
(HTML) and 2, Loss of file association. Do following: Windows
explorer>Tools>Folder options>File types>Scroll and select "HTML" extension.
In box titled "Details for HTML extension " should state that opens with IE.
If does so then click on "Advanced" and verify that default action is open"
(will be bold typeface). Otherwise click "Change" and select IE.
